Dr. Marten’s is celebrating its 50th anniversary and is marking the ocassion with an assortment of downloads and videos from contemporary artists performing covers (see below for list). The first installment features Angeleno Dam-Funk and he lets all the corniness and hilarity loose on this Human League cover of “Things That Dreams are Made Of.” Directed by Ace Norton, the video tosses the conventional aside and favors magic carpet rides, but does Dam keep his signature shades on.
